IMPROVEMENT IN COMPOUND METAL-WORKING MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,030, dated Aprill1, 1876; application filed February 26, 1876.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HOLLIS W. MOORE, ofOlean, in the county of Oattaraugns and State of New York, have inventeda new and valuable Improvement in 'Iire- Upsetter, Shear, and Punch; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the construction and operation of the same, referencebeing had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification,and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a side elevation of mytire'upsetter, and Fig. 2 is an end view thereof'. Fig. 3 isa side viewof the same, and Fig. 4 a detail view.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a combined tire-upsetter, shears, and punch, as will be hereinaftermore fully set forth.

In the annexed drawing, A represents the standard of my combinedmachine, constructed substantially in the form shown. On one side of thestandard A is a stationary curved ledge, B, pon which the tire tobeupset is laid and held by means of the eccentric O. This eccentric istoothed or corrugated, and in the ledge B is inserted a toothed orcorrugated plate, e, which, together with the eccentric, holds the tireperfectly secure. rIhe other end of the tire is held by a similareccentric, O', and ledge B', on a slide, D. This slide is provided witha curved tongue or bead, d, on its inner face, which enters a curvedgroove, b, in the face of the standard A, so as to guide the slide inits movement in the arc of a circle, the slide being held to thestandard by a bolt passing through a curved slot in the slide into thestandard. The slide is thus moved in a curve to upset the tire, which isbetter than to move in a straight line. To the upper part of thestandard is connected a vertically-moving slide, E, also guided bytongues and grooves, as shown. To this slide is secured ashearblade, G,which operates in connection with a stationary blade, G', secured to thestandard A. A punch, H, is also secured in the slide E, whichoperates'in connection with a die, H', on the standard. The shear-bladeG and punch H are fastened in the slide by means of suitable set-screws.

The various moving` parts of my machine are operated by means of alever, I, pivoted upon a stud, c, that projects from the standard Athrough an elongated slot in the slide E. On the inner eild of the leverI is au eccentric.f, which fits in a stirrup, J, placed upon a pin, l1.,on the side of the slide E, and by which means said slide is operated upand down.

rIhe lever I is by a bar, K, connected with the upper end of a lever, L,which is placed upon a pin projectingfrom the slideD through a slot inthe standard A, and said lever L has its fulcrum on a pin, fi,projecting from the standard into a slot in the lower end of the lever.'By these means the tire-upsettin g, cutting, and punching imechanismsare all operated from one lever, and all three operations may be carriedon at one time, if desired.

...What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. rIhe combination of the standard A, provided witn the curved ledge B,pivotcd eccentric O, and curved groove b, and the slide D, provided withledge B', eccentric C', and curved tongue d, the latter tittingin thegroove b, all substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

2. The slide E, carrying the shear-blade G, and punch H, lever I, witheccentric f, stirrup J, connecting-bar K, and lever L, with thetire-upsetting devices, in combination with the standard A, havingshear-blade G' and die H', the whole arranged, constructed, and

operated in the manner and for the purpose set fort-hl y In testimonythat I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in thepresence of two witnesses.
